I don't think they put up a fight when loaded.

• Drug related
• Islamic militants getting rid of wavering believers
• Police or para-military vigilantes doing the job the way they see fit

Probably drug or weapons- or people-smuggling related. Sad but not something that us normal residents of Narathiwat Province (or Thailand in general) have to worry about.
